Some additional thoughts to add to my post. The slowest my 15' Alimacraft will troll with my 25 Yammy is 2 mph. Not great for kokanee. So I added a small Happy Troller and cut a 45 degree notch in...
I have an Alumacraft that is 14'10" and is powered by a 25 hp Yammy. Looks very similar to your boat. On the front I have a 55 Minkota with i pilot. Under the deck in the front are two 31group AGM...
Ok, have been lurking on this thread but will throw my 2 cents in. I have a 15 foot alumacraft fisherman. I have enough of a bow compartment for two group 31 AGM batteries. They can be laid on their...
Was in the Pro Cure factory store last week to stock up. Talked to an employee regarding how to keep it fresh. They recommended I keep it out of the sun and I do keep it in a small ice chest on the...
Darned wind. Wish there was some way to better predict when it will start. My drive to the lake is 1.5 hours and to drive 3 hours rt, only to fish for a few hours. Is it more predictable later in the...
Bummer trip. I guess that just goes with fishing. So sorry. Monday the wind came up at about 11, so I got some fishing time in, but would have stayed for at least a couple more hours if there was no...
Good luck, JLM!
Since I had no kokanee gear until recently I have been trying out different combinations. Early am I used a FWG White Lightning dodger and matching spinner. On my other downrigger I tried a Kokanee...
Launched at Whitcomb. Sometimes I feel like a lumberjack having to move floating logs out of the way to launch. Take waders. On the water at 5:30 and started at the Whitcomb Arm, using dodgers and...
I am new to kokanee fishing and have a 15' foot boat. I have the Raymarine "Dragonfly". It works right out of the box and has gps, downscan and traditional fish finder. Very simple controls. I know...
Am going to try posting my picture again of my addition to the DR mount.7172
Nomad, I would say if you caught that many fish in less that ideal conditions, you were doing well! Just received a shipment of hoochies and dodgers from Kokanee Creek and plan to give them a whirl...
Added a bump out on my down rigger mount to hold my dr weights, pliers and screw driver to adjust my release clip7171
I have 6/10 through the 14th. Do you think jigging will still be good, or will it be a strictly dr fishing?
Talked to Art today and he is overnighting me some stuff to try at GP on Monday. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks, guys! So, to summarize....white is good early. Then switch to pink. Gold flashers or dodgers nearer the surface, silver better as they move deeper. I am gradually adding to my lure selection...
Greetings, Dragonfly! So, a couple of questions regarding your post. Can you give me a couple of examples of set ups you might use with your downriggers this time of year in the arm of the lake you...
Fished GP yesterday. Launched at 6am at Whitcolm. Some wood debris at the launch site but was able to successfully launch. Long lining near the surface and while headed for the island, immediately...
Jl-thanks for the report. Heading to GP on Monday. What boat launch did you use and what area of the lake were you fishing? Not a bad catch for the amount of time you fished.
I just called Shelter Cove. Very nice people. Was advised that they have two freezers they will allow fisherman to use to keep their catch frozen. 2.5 hour drive home, so should work perfectly. Guess...
New to the forum (and kokanee fishing) and planning two trips to Odell this summer. June 6th through the 10th and then five days in August. Being the eternal optimist, and having read many posts and...
Nice job, Dragonfly. What type and group of batteries? Do you have an onboard charger?
Welcome, James. I am fairly new to the forum also. This is a friendly forum with a great group of guys who are more than willing to share their expertise. Where do you hale from?
Wow! Thanks for the feedback, guys. Exciting to hear I caught a rare landlocked Chinook in Detroit. The Kokanee Kid deserves the thanks for pointing me towards a good area to fish on the lake. I am...
The level at Detroit is fine. 90% full pool as of today. Some minor debris floating in the lake, so be a little careful running from one location to another. Try running your downriggers shallow or...
